I’m pretty sure The College Sub Shop couldn’t stay open because it had terrible food. It did not deserve to get more business, its sandwiches sucked. I should know, I worked there.

Dear False,

You are false.

You clearly didn’t read the editorial thoroughly, because it states, “By offering more options for Eagle-One spending, BC would not only encourage students to support neighborhood staples, but further a sense of community that extends beyond the campus walls.” I think that definitely says that they “want the EagleID to be accepted at more places.”

I also fully support this editorial. There are so many great local businesses around BC that we as students should patronize more. I was a fan of College Sub and French Press–I’m extremely disappointed that these two gems have closed. Let’s not even start talking about The Circle..

Love,

True

PS It’s the “Eagle-One Card,” not the EagleID.

It is not BC’s responsibility to prop up local business. If a small business cannot take advantage of 9000 undergrads it is their fault. I personally went to College Sub twice and both times my experience was awful. The service was weak and the food was mediocre. College Sub failed because it was bad. BC does not need to promote these businesses nor should it. If you want the EagleID to be accepted at more places just say it, dont mask it with this unfounded editorial.
